Abstract

This poster reports the preliminary results of a user study
uncovering the information seeking behaviour of humanities
scholars dedicated to radio research. The study is part of an
interdisciplinary research project on radio culture and auditory
resources. The purpose of the study is to inform the design of
information architecture and interaction design of a research
infrastructure that will enable future radio and audio based
research. Results from a questionnaire survey on humanities
scholars‟ research interest and information needs, preferred access
points, and indexing levels are reported. Finally, a flexible
metadata schema is suggested, that includes both general metadata
and highly media and research project specific metadata.
